How do I recover a data partition: gparted interrupted while extending it ...?
#1

Just to report probably the worst case scenario. Am in a bit of a daze at the moment ...
Please don't anyone remind me that I should have backed-up the data before using gparted - I know - I usually do but didn't this time ...

I've just been extending a data partition on an SSD using gparted.
The SSD, plugged in as USB drive, was accidentally moved during the operation, temporarily disconnected, and gparted ceased completing the operation.

Its a 1TB drive: I was extending a 700GB ext4 partition (with 400GB data written on it) to absorb the remaining 230GB of unallocated space.

How do I recover the data? I hope it's not lost as it's not backed up!
Gparted is showing nothing stored on the SSD - the undo operation didn't work.


Quite frankly, I'm hoping for a miracle to recover the data ...
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
